Report Designer

Hello all.:-)
Does anyone know of a Report Designer program that I can download? Free
would be good.:-) I just need to create and edit reports and really don't
want to go the full MSDN route.
Thanks much,
JohnHi John,
The only thing I eared about is an open source projet on Code Projet.
http://codeproject.com/csharp/RdlProject.asp
I didn't test it and i can't assume that what you're looking for.

You can get the full designer in VB.Net (about £60/$120), you don't
need Visual Studio.
If you can wait for SQL2005 or get on the Beta, it comes with BI Studio
so you don't need to by anything extra (except having a licence SQL2005
server) on top of that the Report Builder has just been released onto
Beta.

report authentication: windows prompt removal

Hello,

I'm writing a small program to access reports on a remote server. When simply accessing the server, using the reportviewer, I get a windows prompt for login. I would like to avoid this by passing the account information.

How should I do this? (Maybe through network credentials)

Could someone send me some example code?

Thank you.

Jos

i'm not sure but i think you mean that you want to acces it through internet explorer?

if that's the case , demanding the credentials depends on the zone your page is in

see internet explorer>extra>internet options>security

by default internet explorer demands credentials for public sites and uses integrated login for intranet, that i wouldn't change

the clue is that any address with a dot . (be it in an ip or dns notation, eg 10.2.54.56 or webserver.domain.local) is regarded by default as a public address

so either you add the adress in the intranet zone or you change the adress in wins notation style ( eg //webserver/reports)

Well I want to access the reports through a small asp.net program. You may see the source code in http://www.odetocode.com/Articles/95.aspx

When I access my reportserver (http://sqlreport244_9.mysite4now.com/reportserver) I get prompted for a windows login.

What I would like to do is to set the credentials on the code of the asp.net program to avoid being shown the prompt. This program will be used by several users and don't want them to have to insert the password each time they access the reports.

Thanks
